Snowmaking & Grooming

We call our Snowmaking Crew "the Department of Mother Nature" because our snow is just as fresh and natural as hers. Whether it’s falling from the sky or a snow gun, the process is the same, air and water -- no artificial ingredients.

Wachusett may be close to home, but with a 2,006 foot elevation, we still get mountain weather. We have snow even when there’s none in your backyard. And, when Mother Nature doesn’t give us enough snow, we love to help her out!

Our snowmaking system of advanced HKD Tower Guns blankets 100% of our terrain with huge mounds of natural-feeling snow. With these technologically-advanced guns and new state-of-the-art compressor system, we offer reliable conditions all season long. This powerful snowmaking system creates less noise, uses less energy and is more efficient than ever before. That means only one thing for you – more snow! Our snowmaking is a non-consumptive use of water because when the snow melts it returns to the watershed from which it comes.

GroomingIf you think we take snowmaking seriously, wait until you see the grooming! Our fleet of five grooming machines, including two new Pisten Bully 400’s that will ensure that Wachusett continues to provide the award winning grooming that you have grown accustomed to. In addition to the new cats we have two 350hp Bombardier, one of which is a Park Cat designed to put in the hits and features that will excite the daylights out of you. Our grooming staff is truly passionate about laying down a surface that will bring a smile to your face. We resurface the trails twice daily so you can get the maximum fun on the slopes every day and night.
